How do ideas grow? How do questions open into discoveries? This year’s conference invites you to explore moments of change, revelation, process, and becoming.
We welcome proposals from all disciplines. If you’ve completed a project for a class, studio, lab, internship, community partnership, or independent study—and if you’re curious to share what you learned—this is for you. You don’t need prior experience presenting at a conference. Think of it as a chance to tell the story of your work: What did you set out to do? What did you find? Why does it matter?
What to Submit
A short proposal (up to 300 words) describing:
- The question, problem, or creative idea you explored,
- What you did (your methods, process, or creative practice),
- What unfolded—your results, insights, or artistic intentions,
- What you hope people will take away from your presentation.
Presentations can take many forms: talks, posters, readings, performances, demonstrations, or other formats that suit your project. If you’ re unsure which format fits, submit anyway. We’ll help you decide. Each presenter will have 15 minutes to share their work.
Why Participate?
- Share your work with a supportive campus community,
- Gain experience explaining your ideas to new audiences,
- Celebrate creativity, curiosity, and discovery across disciplines.
Let your work unfold—and invite others into the process. Email your proposal by February 15, 2026, to omniumconference@gmail.com.
